Stronger Man

You told me today, I'm Egocentric Instead of taking my side You're against me all the time That's what it's like to be with someone Who likes to fight You came out of the Marines with something to prove I lost my best friend years ago I thought my new One was You But maybe I was wrong In thinking you were on my side I can't tolerate how mean you get Or your selfish pride Every day we are together I die a little more inside And my friend's memory fades in my heart As I become someone else Than Who I wanted from the start All I desired was a new best friend Someone to Love and accept me To be with me Till the End Someone to hold me And comfort me at night Not someone who belittles me And makes me feel I'm never Right Maybe I can be chatty & dominant too I know I've been sensitive since childhood But before I met you, I liked Who I am Maybe what I need Is a stronger Man
